Demonstrators Demand $20 Summer Clothing Allowance
About 50 protesters outside Hotel Viking pressed Lt. Gov. Joseph H. O'Donnell to fund a $20 summer clothing allowance for welfare children. The Rhode Island Fair Welfare Organization urged the state to provide a full set of sneakers bathing suit shorts and shirts for each child. O'Donnell planned meetings with welfare officials and spokesmen in Providence after delays due to officials being unavailable. The demonstration occurred as 486 executives from 33 states and three territories gathered nearby.
